Phil,
Realize that the BP is a reading device rather than an MP3 player, although it
supports Mp3 files. The file transfer software marks each Mp3 file using the
Printing House's own phrase detection software so users can move to relevant
and meaningful points in an audio reading or presentation.
Folders and their contents can be transferred using the send to menu in
Windows.

Subject: [bookport] help for a new user
Just got my new Book Port and already come across some issues ...
1 I am assuming, having tried it, I cannot place my CF card in a card reader
and drag and drop, and bP will cope with this?
**Come on APH!
2 I note I have to use the USB cable which comes with the unit and not a
similar cable? Huh? I assume either it has a chip or some kind of special
connections inside? Strange as if I use my existing lead my PC notices
something has been plugged in.
3 I don't seem to be able to find a way in the transfer software to select
directories and drop them on the BP? NB They are compatible files.
**Come on APH, this is such a fundamental thing to do! Surely I don't have
to go to the pedestrian way of creating directories on the BP and drag and
dropping individual files? This will take forever!!! I have several
directories neatly set-up containing music, text and an audio book. It'll take
forever having to create directories and moving over each ****ing file!
4 Oh, how to I lock my keypad.
5 Finally, what is the upper limit of CF card that BP will take?
I'm used to using an mp3 player with a SD card which Windows just gets on
with and treats as an external drive.
I usually avoid anything that has "special" associated with it but I was
"sold" BP. I hope I don't regret it.
